MARTIN FRÖST plays MOZART: Clarinet Concert

[caiogflopes]

Sharon Kam is SO much better...

[stickwagger]

OMG is this not only pefection but it's hugely enjoyable

[gigglegirlnoel]

Great interpretation! I think Martin Frost is one of the best clarinet players in the world.  Plus it's absolutely awesome that he is Swedish.

[Klarinette3000]

perfect :o)

[Klarinette3000]

nice :o)

[tcfuturevet]

what is this called? is it a movement from Mozart's clarinet concerto? i loce this piece, but can't find what its called

[gigglegirlnoel]

@tcfuturevet This is the first movement, Allegro from Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. I don't know if you are still wondering...but there's an answer if you still do. I agree! This is a remarkable piece! I'm very grateful that Mozart composed it, as I can't imagine the clarinet without it.

[tcfuturevet]

@gigglegirlnoel Thanks so much!

[watchthisplzppls]

WOW i play clarinet i want to be as good as him! :O

OMG 7:43 what a amazing tongue!!

[Superclarinetmorman1]

Thats what she said

[jonhadas]

yes it is..and it's double tongue :)

[Sauerlandsternchen93]

ich finds gut.. aber was ist das für eine komische klarinette??

ist das eine bömische oder englische?

[costythehot]

Es ist und Bassetthorn - das Original Instrument das Stück geschrieben wurde, die französische System. Es gibt auch eine deutsche System ein.

[FoxFagottjunge]

Das ist eine sogenannte ,,Bassettklarinette" von Buffet. Sie hat das Böhm-System (Klose eigentlich), Französische Bohrung natürlich und hat Mechanik um bis zum tiefen C zu spielen.

Bassetthorn ist sie gar nicht. Auch verstehe ich nicht was CostytheHot sagen wollte.

[nadja1316]

Ist eine bömische nicht eine "englische" ? Also ich kenne die Unterscheidung nur zwischen deutsch und französischem ( böhm) System ?!

[clarinetgeek7299]

im not the biggest fan of all the things he added in, i believe mozart meant this concerto to be a certain way. however, im not denying that he is one of the MOST AMAZING players ever. i just like the sharon kam recording of this better.

[MistressBuffington89]

Great... I worked with/ for him last year! He`s fantastic!

[chalomeaux]

bonito timbre

[MOstamas]

Clarinetist is awesome!!!

(audio preview seems broken)

[beethomozart]

the most beautiful,heavenly,celestial,s­weet,... work composed for clarinet, there are no words to describe it except saying that since it was written for mozart near his death,GOD was calling him and laid his hand upon him,long live mozart

[MasterMangi]

Martin is the man!

[klarinetking9630]

im a fan of martin frost he is so good

the clarinet concert from weber so good

[QuickChord]

lol, well said iontxs, well said

beautiful performance

[hrosengren]

Shallow musicianship; little or no control of the subtleties of the music (tonally and agogically as well technically) but rather a lot of unmusical cliches. Mannered and predictable personality (as if every move was carefully choreographed). Fundamental clarinet production is good though but unfortunately he does not put it to use to serve the music. What a pity!

[iontxs]

What a crushing blow it must be to Martin Frost, hearing criticism from a California state college professor. It reminds me of the quote from the lead singer of Oasis, (his name escapes me) who said "The Beatles didn't invent nothin"

[fashmay17]

well you might not think hes that great, but hes doing pretty well so i doubt that your criticisms mean much to him at all really.

[HIkeda126]

We all gotta consider the perception that we think is great. I think as students, we can't decide upon that perception because we're still growing to perfect ourselves as individual players.

Just because he teaches at a CSU doesn't mean he doesn't know what he's talking about.

[linusbergl]

But your opinion, even though it might be a firm one, does NOT give you rights to spam the comments. Despite his "failures" as a musician, he obviously succeeded as a soloist - something very very few people do. As a bassoonist I have no idea of the technique aspects of mozart - and I must say, hearing Fröst (not really this recording though) is pure pleasure.

[HIkeda126]

Just curious, but are you Hakan Rosengren, the clarinet professor at CSU Fullerton?

[Sourna1]

Great clarinet player, and swedish too :D

[clarinet31]

martin frost is the best]!!!!!

the best

[theFrigatt]

seems like he uses the circular breathing (at 2:01)

[HIkeda126]

I'm pretty sure most people would need to since you would probably need to put faster air through the horn since it's longer.

[linusbergl]

He is so good! Is it possible to be better live than on cd? Obviously!

[Saranicfort]

Non ho parole... questo è uno dei pezzi di Mozart che più adoro ma questo clarinettista ha aggiunto veramente del suo! strepitoso!....

[greengirl20]

his Mozart album provides excellent interpretation throughout

[daclarinave]

i have heard this song several times and i do have to also say this is my favorite interpretation. i saw a video with this dude in it..a little wierd but he's crazy good. i'd expect anything from him to be of superb quality

[Raunch14]

One of the best interpretations I have ever heard...bravo
